Maternity Photos

To take maternity pictures or not take maternity pictures? With all the other preparation we’re doing for the arrival of our baby next month, I’ve found myself trying to prioritize everything we need and want to get done beforehand, and maternity pictures were one of the things I thought would be easy to skip. I ultimately decided that I’d rather have the pictures than not have the pictures so I don’t have any regrets in the future.

We took these in our bedroom yesterday and I think they turned out so pretty! I showed Justin some inspiration pictures I saved from Pinterest and that’s what we went off of! This is the perfect way to document my pregnant body forever and I’m so happy to have these to show my daughter one day. I’m so grateful to be growing her and this photoshoot served as a celebration of that and all the change (and pain) my body has gone through to create our child. It’s AMAZING what the female body can do and I’ve never had more appreciation for mine than I do now, and that’s certainly worth documenting! For anyone who is curious, I’m 33 weeks pregnant in these (33 weeks and 5 days to be exact).

Songs to set the mood that may or may not have made me cry this week:

We love you, baby girl.
